A memorial you can walk through. A memory that outlives us all
Every life tells a story worth keeping. Our mission is to give families a dignified, lasting place to honor the people they love — a space where memories, stories, photographs, and family history can be preserved and passed from one generation to the next.
Traditional memorials are bound by stone and distance. RIP.GD extends remembrance into the digital world, giving family members and friends a place they can reach from anywhere and at any time.
RIP.GD combines digital memorials with tools designed for long-term remembrance and family legacy.
Instead of limiting remembrance to a flat web page, RIP.GD offers a walkable virtual cemetery where memorials can have a physical place within a digital environment. Visitors can explore the cemetery, find individual memorials, and experience remembrance as a place rather than simply a page on a screen.
Preserve a message, photograph, or video for a future date. Time Capsules are designed for memories that are meant to be received later — such as birthdays, anniversaries, family milestones, or messages for future generations.
Memorials can be connected to related family members, creating a navigable family history across generations. Instead of a static family tree, these connections can lead directly to the individual stories and memorials of family members.
RIP.GD connects physical remembrance with digital memorials. A QR code can be placed on a gravestone or monument so visitors can use a smartphone to access the corresponding memorial page.
Account owners can designate a Trusted Contact and document instructions for their digital legacy. Where the feature applies, the Trusted Contact may assist with the memorial according to the owner's instructions, applicable verification procedures, and plan terms.
Where available, the Infinity plan may include access to DNA preservation services designed to preserve biological heritage alongside a person's digital story. Physical biomaterial preservation may be performed by a qualified third-party provider under the applicable service terms.
We began with a personal goal: to build a lasting tribute to our own family — a place where stories, achievements, photographs, and memories could be preserved beyond the limits of physical distance.
What started as a family idea grew into a broader memorial and digital legacy platform. Every feature we add comes back to the same question: how can we help keep a person's story available to people who may never have had the opportunity to meet them?
Build a comprehensive life story with photographs, video links, uploaded video files, documents, certificates, letters, records, and other supported materials in one organized memorial.
Where enabled, friends and family can leave messages, share memories, and send flowers or other virtual tokens of remembrance on the memorial.
Choose the preservation period and features that fit your needs: Basic (10 years), Legacy (100 years), or Infinity (designed for long-term or permanent preservation), subject to the applicable plan terms.
We build RIP.GD with long-term preservation in mind, with infrastructure and services designed to help families maintain their digital legacy for many years to come.
We take the protection of personal information seriously. Privacy controls, security measures, access controls, and appropriate backups are used to support the protection and availability of stored information.
We aim to keep memorials respectful and appropriate. Our platform is designed around remembrance rather than advertising, distraction, or unnecessary noise.
Memorials are designed to be accessible from computers and mobile devices, allowing families and friends separated by distance to remain connected to the people and stories they remember.
We approach memorials with sensitivity and respect for the people being remembered and for the families and friends who preserve their stories.
We help families preserve more than names and dates — including stories, photographs, family connections, documents, and, where available, biological heritage.
When you trust RIP.GD with the memory of someone you love, we take that responsibility seriously:
Technology and infrastructure may evolve as the platform develops. No online service can guarantee uninterrupted availability or immunity from every technical or security risk.
Whether you are honoring someone you love or preparing your own digital legacy, RIP.GD provides tools to help preserve the story for generations to come.
